Abstract:
A pluggable module includes a pluggable body extending between a cable end and a mating end opposite the cable end and a latch held by the pluggable body having an actuation end and a latching end. The actuation end has an actuator extending from the cable end and the latching end has a latching tooth configured to latchably secure the pluggable module to a component. A pull tab device is secured to the actuator. The pull tab device has a handle configured to be pulled away from the pluggable body to release the latch. The pull tab device has a connecting end opposite the handle having a first segment and a second segment. The first segment wraps around the actuator and is secured to the second segment such that the pull tab device is self-secured to the actuator.
